My campfire set at DS106RADIO Summer Camp

It was so great to literally and figuratively reconnect with DS106RADIO via the DS106RADIO Summer Camp 2024.

I dusted-off LadioCast and after some correspondence with Reclaim HQ to get an update on the server settings and ready myself for camp, I was back online and broadcasting my Summer Camp DJ set the mighty https://listen.ds106rad.io/ which was super fun to play and interact with others around the campfire via Discord.

A little later I re-discovered Alan’s Automating Song Info to Ladiocast blog post from over a decade ago describing the LadioCast automation script that pushes track id from iTunes through to LadioCast – so stoked that Alan’s instructions and script still work in 2024 just like it did in 2013. So cool.

It’s great to have the song info pushed through so that others can get that little bit extra information on what’s happening, but if there isn’t much traffic on the social stream it can feel a bit spammy.
